1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: You could call me the donkey of the day, but

2
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: like I mean normal donkey Today for Tuesday November, first,

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 1: go to the Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Now, if

4
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: you haven't heard, the Supreme Court's conservative majority appears likely

5
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,959
Speaker 1: to abolish race conscious university admissions. What does that mean? Well,

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 1: nearly twenty years ago, to US Supreme Court determined that

7
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: universities may consider racing their admissions process and an effort

8
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: to achieve a more diverse campus. But on yesterday, Halloween,

9
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: that spooky as Supreme Court was confronting the role of

10
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 1: racing college admissions. In fact, the conservative justices repeatedly doubted

11
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: whether universities would reach an endpoint in race conscious admissions.

12
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: They want to in affirmative action in college admissions. Let's

13
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: go to KTLA five for the report. Please, big changes

14
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: could be coming to college campuses across the country. Mynity

15
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: can never be limited to my acadetic standing. As student

16
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: protesters gathered in the rain outside the US Supreme Court today,

17
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: the justices considered eliminating affirmative action for college applications. I've

18
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 1: heard word diversity quite a few times, and I don't

19
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: have a clue what it means, it seems to mean

20
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: everything for everyone. No vote today, but the conservative members

21
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: of the Court appear ready to end race consideration for

22
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: college admissions. Chief Justice John Roberts insisted there's no clarity

23
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: on when affirmative action would end. Your position is that

24
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 1: race matters because it's necessary for diversity, which is necessary

25
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: for the sort of education you want. It's not going

26
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: to stop mattering at some particular point. You're always going

27
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: to have to look at race because you say race

28
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,839
Speaker 1: matters to give us the necessary diversity. Justice Katanji, Brown,

29
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: Jackson and other liberals argue ending affirmative action would deny

30
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: students their rights to equal protection, and many students agree.

31
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: Dame Clarence, if real name is Clarence and Clarence lives

32
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: at home thinking he's a racist white parry. Now, I

33
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: don't have to tell you how this decision would dramatically

34
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: reduce enrollment rates amongst students of color, do I. I

35
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: also don't have to tell you why this is yet

36
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: another reason why they should expand the Supreme Court. I've

37
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: been telling y'all four things that need to be done

38
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: to protect democracy. Eliminate the fillibusses, so you can properly legislate,

39
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: protect voting rights, prosecute everybody involved in the attempted core

40
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: of his country on January sixth, and expand the Supreme Court.

41
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 1: All right. Not doing that, it's led to women's reproductive

42
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: rights being taken away and no telling what other rights

43
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: will be taken away. And this seems to be one

44
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,399
Speaker 1: of the next ones on the chopping block. I could

45
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: give them donkey to day for just considering this. But

46
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: what I'm giving Clarence donkey of the day for is

47
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: being a black man who constantly not only votes against

48
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: his own interests and the interest to people who look

49
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: like him. Okay, Notice I didn't say his own people,

50
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: because he doesn't identify as one of us. But he's

51
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: always voting against the interests of his own people. Okay,

52
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: whether he knows he's one of us or not, right,

53
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: but not only voting against us. He doesn't even understand

54
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: the basics of what it is to be one of us.

55
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: All right. Look, we know that a lot of us

56
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: our diversity hires, all right, especially in government. Clarence Thomas

57
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: was a diversity higher at least on the surface. All Right.

58
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: We have all these conversations about diversity and inclusion and equity,

59
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: but Clarence Thomas doesn't even know what that is. Seriously,

60
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: he said he doesn't know what diversity is. Plead that

61
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: again for me, right, mister Park. I've heard the word

62
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: diversity quite a few times, and I don't have a

63
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 1: clue what it means. It seems to mean everything for everyone.

64
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: I don't think diversity means a lot of different things

65
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,839
Speaker 1: to a lot of different people. Me here one more time,

66
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: mister Park. I've heard the word diversity quite a few

67
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: times and I don't have a clue what it means.

68
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: It seems to mean everything for everyone. That explains a lot.

69
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: We know what diversity is. What's the textbook definition of

70
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: diversity is the practice our quality of including our involving

71
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: people from a range of different social and ethnic backgrounds

72
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: and of different genders, sexual orientations. Raised example, Equality and

73
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: diversity should be supported for their own sake, right, which

74
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: why I don't understand how a black man doesn't support

75
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: diversity for his own sake and not just support even

76
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: know what it is. It is Clarence Thomas that delusion

77
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: know about who he is. Clarence Thomas, you're supposed to

78
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: be diversity. The problem is you clearly don't know you black, right,

79
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: So I truly agree that you probably don't know what

80
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: diversity is or what it represents because you don't represent it.

81
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 1: But this doesn't surprise me. All right, Clarence Thomas doesn't

82
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: know what diversity is, He don't know what inclusion is.

83
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:34,119
Speaker 1: He probably don't know what black is. Look, man, all

84
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: skin folk ain't kin folk. And this is why representation

85
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 1: only matters if the person representing knows they represent Please

86
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 1: let me give Clarence Thomas the biggest he ha he

87
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: ha he ha you stupid mother? Are you dumb? And

88
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: I rephrase you know this is why representation only matters

89
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 1: if the person representing us knows they representing us? Okay,

90
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: all right, okay, all right, well thank you for that.

91
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: Donkey to day. Now. Yesterday you guys got a chance

92
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: to interview the co founder of the Civil Rights Corporation

93
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 1: and Corpse and an attorney for Legal Aid Society. I

94
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: really enjoyed this conversation. Tell me about it because I

95
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: wasn't here. Well, I gotta tell you about it when

96
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: they're about to come in next and they can tell

97
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: you what was the name. So I wasn't here, Yester.

98
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: I can't pronounce I know Alec, and I cannot pronounce

99
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: that sister's name I call. I was calling her Alec

Speaker 1: Carroc Catsanis I was, and LIAMI LIAMI liam a LIAMI

Speaker 1: liam LIAMI. Okay, well, we're gonna speak with them next.

102
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: I still don't feel like I'm pronouncing it right, but

103
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you something. Yes, you said, it's a LIAMI. Oh,

104
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: that's just it's brilliant. And I cannot wait for y'all
